customer Reviews

4Excellent product with superb design

I commute to work and enjoy reading, but I used to limit my choice of books to small paperbacks that could fit in my pocket. With the E-Reader I can now take War and Peace with me without creating an unsightly bulge in garments!The screeen has superb clarity, and I personally find the design and finish of the product excellent. The only thing preventing me giving the full five stars is that the refresh rate on the screen is a little slow. Please don't let this put you off though as it is more than adequate when reading, the only time you notice the latency is when navigating through the hundreds of book titles you have stored on the device.One feature I really like is that you can be part way through multiple titles and whenever you go back to that book you have the option to continue reading from where you left off. Never again will I have the disappointment of seeing my bookmark depart from my book!

4Brilliant!

I love this product! Its so light and easy to use, although as the previous reveiwer has said, it does lag a bit on the menu when searching through the books in your library but it soon catches you up :) You do definatly need the case with the external light on for reading in bed for example, but all e-book readers need this accessory from what ive heard from other users.

With an average of 350 books, (and PDF files are supported as well) you have more than enough memory to fit all your faves on :)

For just a simple, basic product that does the job this is perfect, and slips into your bag due to it being a 'pocket' version without taking up all the room!
